Hodge Lane Railway Cottages, Gorstage, Northwich

As the name implies, this mid terrace home has links to the nearby railway lines and is assumed to have been a railworker’s cottage at some stage. However, please don’t let the associations with the railway detract from its semi-rural location and one that offers great convenience for Hartford, Weaverham and Sandiway villages as well as some lovely country walks nearby. The cottage occupies a location set back from the lane and is one of just four similar style properties on the outskirts of Hartford presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a character home with gardens and off-road parking in one of the area’s more sought after and regarded locations.

In recent years, the cottage has undergone considerable improvement by our client who has created a stunning home which offers accommodation comprising: lounge with log burner and access onto the garden, a beautifully appointed kitchen with dining area, two double bedrooms and a generously proportioned bathroom with shower. Sealed unit double glazing is installed and complemented by electric heaters to the principal rooms.  

Externally the property stands within quite generous grounds with open outlooks to both the front and rear. The primary access was reversed at some stage in the past and the former front garden is now enclosed with French windows leading from the lounge. The rear courtyard now provides an off-road parking space and principal access to the property. The Hamlet of Gorstage is situated very close to some of the area’s more sought after villages. Sandiway, Cuddington, Hartford and Weaverham all offer an excellent range of shopping facilities, respected schooling as well as mainline rail connections at Hartford and Cuddington (London-Liverpool and Manchester-Chester lines respectively). The property is also conveniently situated for access to the A556 and A49 and beyond to the region’s motorway network.
